| THE 2007 SEASON |
| The
2007 season began on May 11 and the Depot was closed on July 13. At the
end of the season we were pleased to show the progress of the ongoing conservation
work to the Governor of Yozgat, Amir Çiçek, the Sorgun District
Governor, Meftun Dalli, the Mayor of Sorgun, Ahmet Simsek, and other visitors
from local authorities and organisations (Fig.
17). The Geophysical survey in the area of the Palatial Complex was conducted in May. Transportation studies consisted of checking plans of the street network and urban compounds in the lower area of the city and, in June, excavation of seven trenches to test transportation simulations and to sample occupation material from different parts of the city. Work on site also included cleaning and conservation at the Monumental Entrance to the Palatial Complex and the Cappadocia Gate. A new collaboration involves a study of geomagnetic dating across Turkey. During much of the season work continued on the conservation and restoration of architectural pieces from previous years together with the preparation of a series of final reports. Construction of the new workroom with a large covered terrace for the mending, restoration and housing of large architectural pieces was completed before the winter. |
